WAIT, PRINT and timeout

to display more pages with Terminal I put inside a printing series this:

Code:


// other print("something "); series
WAIT();
PRINT();
// again print("something else "); series

that command waits, then clears Terminal and prints another page.
But if the user does nothing, after a few seconds it loads the next page and doesn't let the time to read the previous one...
I need a hint to wait without timeout.
Any help?

thanks in advance!

Hi Salvo,
please try to use the parameter -1 for wait,
WAIT(-1);

Help says:
"If n = -1:
Execution paused until a key is pressed or there is a mouse event. "

EDIT:
sorry, this seems also be limited to 1 minute (".. After a 1 minute timeout, returns -1")
You could try to catch the return value of wait89, and stay in a loop,
until the value is not equal to -1.
